We want to make sure that everybody wearing it has the right fit on their face.” “We don’t want this to get too loose, too tight. “Because we’re using a soft material, it’s not pinching, it’s not pulling, it’s not pushing on your face, but it feels good and natural to wear,” and is available in different sizes with adjustable ear loops. The mask has an air-tight soft silicone seal to ensure protection and minimize discomfort. “Maybe they’re too tight, they’re too loose, you have to adjust them all the time, they’re pinching, and we really wanted to ensure that Project Hazel was something that was comfortable to wear and to breathe in over long periods of time,” Scharnikow said. Lastly, wearers often complain masks are uncomfortable. Project Hazel also includes a case which is also a charger and a UV sterilizing station. The Project Hazel mask is built from recycled plastic, eco-friendly materials and features cleanable, replaceable filters and a rechargeable ventilation system, “to ensure that this is a mask you can use on a daily basis day in and day out for a long time without it losing any effectiveness,” he said. Single-use masks create an environmental concern and washable masks “have a limited life and need to be thrown away eventually” Scharnikow said, which is why Razer focused on sustainability. “This voice algorithm can be trained via the included app, and it will make you sound exactly like you would without the mask.” “Housed within the smart pod system is a microphone and speaker array that will detect your voice while you’re talking with the mask on and then use audio algorithms to reflect your voice out naturally to the world,” he explained. The mask will also feature new Razer voice-amp technology, which addresses the common issue of muffled speech and limits to communication. Project Hazel also features a low light mode with a subtle LED inside the mask, so during nighttime or dark situations, the wearer’s mouth can still be visible. Adding that there are benefits “for those who are hard of hearing who can see your lips and read your lips while you’re talking.” This lets others see you smiling, see you laughing, see you frowning, see all of your facial expressions, really, to keep that social connection,” Scharnikow said. “Project Hazel features a clear, transparent plastic design that allows your mouth and your face to be seen while you’re wearing the mask. Razer was also concerned with wearers being able to maintain a social connection while wearing a mask.

Razer is calling Project Hazel “the world’s smartest mask,” because it’s multiuse with an increased emphasis on hygiene, and addresses the concerns for environmental ramifications regarding disposable masks. Our community has stepped up in a big way as well through our Razer for Life program, donating more than 100,000 masks to healthcare professionals.” The project continues today.
Razer is “very proud of our efforts in this space. “We’ve developed expertise in this area, we’ve acquired certification to manufacture surgical-grade masks, and for these Razer health initiative efforts, we’re incredibly proud to have donated more than one million surgical face masks worldwide directly to the healthcare front lines,” Scharnikow added. Stepping out of the gamer world, Razer “has really been proactive in the fight against COVID-19 very early on, including converting some of our manufacturing facilities to be able to produce certified medical masks,” said Mike Scharnikow, senior marketing manager, growth peripherals at Razer. Razer’s first concept Project Brooklyn delivered something expected at CES 2021, but with its second, Project Hazel, Razer tackled an entirely new cottage industry as it conceived, developed, and created a tech-infused modern mask for safety against the continually looming pandemic. Quietly starting at the beginning of the pandemic last year, the tech gaming company transformed some manufacturing facilities to create wearable and innovative protection against COVID-19.
